Love Cheque Charge (2014)

I would definitely recommend this drama series. I've re-watched some of the episodes that I liked. It has it's good & bad moments. Absolutely more good than bad. They could've went a different direction to postpone their marriage than introducing a past lover. There are ways to create obstacles. Be more creative with the ideas than what's obvious & predictable. I really like the bond/friendship between Bu Fan & Bo Hai. The chemistry between Phoebe & George in my opinion is better than him & Annie. This relationship was more realistic & mature. I hope we will get to see the two of them together in another drama series. But portrayed as different personalities of course. Maybe their roles reverse where she's more successful & dominant and he as an ordinary man.

Honestly I was getting a little bit tired of seeing Annie & George together. It was getting too cutsie for me and their relationship was so similar in both Love, Now & Love Around. Annie whines too much and has a screechy voice that makes your skin crawl sometimes. I hope this new drama series that will air in Mar 2015 will be a departure from their previous love connections.

George Hu is one of the few romantic male leads I can tolerate in these T-dramedies because he exhibits more of a rugged handsomeness instead of the effeminate pretty boy image that seems to be more commonplace in these shows.
Maybe it's a cultural thing. I don't know.
Anywho, I was initially impressed with his character He Bu Fan, a marketing genius who brings much-needed structure and discipline to his brother's fledgling business, which requires him to be a dick at times when he's at work. But then I realized as I watched more episodes that he's no different than any other male lead, treading familiar territory as an emotionally distant asshole with mommy issues. Needless to say, I was disappointed watching him treat his love interest like a child.
Pheobe Yuan's character Xu Man Man started off independent and strong-willed after recovering from a painful breakup with her fiance Shi Bo Hai (Ken Hsieh). Then in later episodes, it all went to shit. I don't know why the writers felt the need to dumb her character down so much.
Oh yeah, Bo Zheng Chen's character was that of some sort of deity or god but his hearing aid was visible. Just Sayin'.
